Looking for Alpine stuff - already have the dresser, bed and lamp, wallpaper and carpet, need everything else! Also, I'm a sucker for the cabin stuff, so if anyone is close to a full set, order it from your catalogue and I'll pay you for it all. PLUS: I have a Bill Blaster, a pair opf heroes boots and a metroid for trade. I'm looking for varia suit top and helmet, or heroes clothes and cap. But will take any reasonable offers!

Yeah, they are really and most definitely pushing their luck. Don't give them the satisfcation, as you say. Record conversations digitally if necessary and then drag them to court when it all gets too much. It kinda happened to me in a branch of GAME at one time - we had to get a loyalty swipe with every purchase, so if the customer wouldn't buy a loyalty card or didn't have one, the team there had a bank of cards (about 15-20) they kept in a file and each one was addressed to a different member of staff under a pseudonym. So they got a shed load of vouchers and the "hit rate" was always 100%. I refused to play ball and then when they applied the thumbscrews I just recorded every conversation and pretended to play along. On the day that I quit without notice the manager was all "well, you're not getting this month's pay" so I calmly put the CD in the player and replayed all the "chats" we'd had, and told them that this could go to loss prevention any time I felt like it, and if I didn't get paid the full month, that's where it would end up. They paid me and I sent the CD anyway. Two people lost their jobs.

That's a case for constructive dismissal or workplace bullying right there.

Thank you... I know what I am though :/

It would be my mother's 47th birthday today, had she lived. This time of year always inspires such low feelings. And the girl I still lovej ust walked back into my office. Ten seconds, a smile and a hello and suddenly my heart feels like a lump of stone. I guess I wasn't over her. 3 months without speaking to her, but thinking about her every day. I was just getting to the stage where I could really keep her from intruding into my thoughts, and where I was making a real go of my marriage. Yes, I'm a terrible person. Ah, shit.

Happy Birthday Sam, love and hugs!

Never been a fan... Thanks for taking the time to respond! Do they have to be online as well?

How do I send messages to my best friends in other towns?

Gates are open, chaps.

My gates are opening at around 12pm UK time today if anyone is interested? I've already got a friend coming over for some hammer action on the Island.

So there really IS a Max?

Oh god, has it really been a year? Wow...

And, LOL, probably 14.

A defence for the Horst-Kasparov opening in Chess. The only way to not get beaten in seven moves after someone has opened with that game is to show a post from an internet forum. God, I love chess.

Always this. Get the rare fish and bugs donated, then MAKE WITH THE MONEY TIMES! Oh, and 'm glad in this new version that it tells you whether or not it's a new acquisition. Makes it easier than giving Ol' Blabbermouth something you've already got and then him YAMMERING ON about it.

I've still got a pending friend request for you, Mr!

>_<

Got it! See you next time!

I've always though of Jay as looking like the guy in the live organ donation sketch in The Meaning of Life. So yeah, kudos for your success!

Thanks for hosting @Cube! And @Eenuh, need your FC!

Are your gates open? Can I pop in?

But you see, I can COMPLETELY understand the relationship and why they need each other. And I cannot understand why you find the fictional relationships of fictional characters in an entertainment series worrying.

My money is on them doing a Spidey-like reboot in a few years time. There'll be a new Iron Man, new backstory, new actor, still Tony Stark. Lets begin speculating wildly: ZACHARY QUINTO! NORMAN REEDUS! ELMO!

@Ashley @MoogleViper I actually really enjoy the Big Bang Theory. Also, Sheldon is real. I have met people like that in real life so many times - I've even been accused of having character traits in common with him (honestly, my old therapist thought I tended towards Asperger's). I can really, really relate to his obsessive compulsive tendencies - bathroom regularity, which day for which food, germ phobia. I laugh at him and think "Christ, that's me... oh shit". For example, we had a particular routine when I was at home for food: Monday - Pasta and bacon. Either Carbonara or tomato pesto. Tuesday - Lamb with green vegetables and mashed potato. Wednesday - Sausages in one form or another. Thursday - Chicken, usually casserole sometimes chasseur. Friday - Jacket potatoes and baked beans. Deviation from that drove me nuts. I poop every day at 1pm and then at 6:30pm. I cannot start a book at bedtime: I have to start it at least an hour before bed otherwise I feel too stimulated by the new environment. So you don't get it? Fair enough? But don't fucking insult people who do, because it makes you a supercillious, pretentious cunt. I don't "get" all these mafia games people play on the board, but I respect the fact that there are those people who get a kick out of them. In fact, that's my thing I don't understand: People have different preferences and tastes. Respect that. Don't mock them. Remember, video gamers (as the majority of us are) are generally thought of unhygienic and socially inept by people who don't share our hobby.

Well, it was kinda my point....
